There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Lions wouldn't have any difficulties to live in cold climates too. After all, before the humanity invasion they were the most widespread big cats around the Earth (Europa, Africa, Asia, not including north America with panthera Atrox)... And we see as concerns the captive lions, they don' t have have any problem to live in cold countries. To tell the truth all big cats, provided they have enough big preys, can live almost everywhere (except in the polar regions).

On the other hand, of course the small cats have far more capacities to survive against the human expansion in Earth. We have just only to see how the domestic cat was able to survive and thrive in a hard environment like the australian desert. I saw a documentary about this fact several years ago, it was astouning !

Panthera leo would have fully replaced both Panthera spelaea and Panthera atrox if the disappearance of the grassland in Eurasia didn't occur at the end of the Pleistocene.

Because of that, the expansion of Panthera leo literally stopped at Central Asia. Otherwise, we would have a chance to see Panthera leo roaming in Siberia and North America in the modern time.
